The American fighter Chael Sonnen is allowed to use anabolic steroids. The doctor Timothy Trainor noticed that this sportsman really suffered from hypogonadism.
What does this disease represent? Hypogonadism is related to insufficient secretion of testosterone. Physicians commonly recommend testosterone replacement therapy for treatment of this disease.
The athlete Chael Sonnen has acquired a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). Thus, this fighter is allowed to use steroids for medical needs and meet Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July 2012.
According to prescription of Chael Sonnen’s physician, he has to introduce injections of Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate twice per week. The measures that are recommended have not been disclosed. But under rules of the Nevada Athletic Commission, blood serum levels of testosterone in this mixed martial artist should be within normal range on the morning after the fight against Silva.
The physician Trainor confirms that those that compete with TUE should be tested on the morning after the match to learn whether they have taken something right before the competition.
The doctor Trainor suggests that testosterone can cause performance-enhancing effects, if it is applied right before the fight. He confirms that injections must not be introduced in the days before a fight to prevent increased levels of testosterone.
But it seems that the NAC is not aware that steroids cause benefits connected with enhancement of performance, not only if they are utilized right before competitions. Application of steroids increases performance during trainings before competitions. And the benefits remain even after athletes stop administering them.
Sonnen had increased testosterone levels at UFC 117. He claimed that he had tested positive because he had been on TRT. He appealed his suspension and it was reduced to 6 months from one year. But Chael Sonnen didn’t have any TUE that time.
